That is a great idea with the tent it will prevent a lot of headaches the closer you get. Being patient is the most difficult part of growing I've seen too many plants cut too early because of impatience. Wait as long as the weather will let you and let her finish and you will be rewarded!
Unfortunate that you had to cut early but I understand your reasoning. As far as drying and curing I personally trim and hang for about 3-5 days but it differs you are looking for the outside of the buds to be dry to the touch and you want the stems to bend but not snap. After that some go straight to jars but usually trim up more and go into paper bag for a day and tossing throughout the day. From there you will want to cure in jars. There is a lot of info on the website for this that I would take a look at so you get it right. It's a process of taking the remaining moisture out of the center of the buds but you have to take the buds out of the jar (burping) completely for several hours every day. The amount of time varies but you want to get to a point where the jar is keeping them fresh but not too fresh. Haha I'm high sorry for rambling but do some research on the site as well. Keep us updated!
Awesome! I hung them roots and all overnight. When you say trim, I assume you mean just cut the branches with buds away from the main trunk, and cutting larger fan leaves?
Yes it's all about preference I usually keep any small leaves with crystals on them. Would like to see some pics when they are dried!
Will do! depending on how it smokes once it's driving cured I may just make butter out of it. Lol not sure though. I'm concerned about whether or not the tracks that are there armature yet from things that I have read. 3 weeks to early seems to be a bad thing.
